Facing north at an average 17°, Daisy Mae gets about 64% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pajarito Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th shadiest named run at Pajarito Mountain. Its top sits at 10,120 feet.
Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
